The strain hardening be haviour of the above-mentioned P/M sintered steel preforms with aspect ratio of 0.4 under triaxial stress state condition was determined by cold upsetting under nil/no and graphite lubricant conditions. The instantaneous strain hardening value (ni), strength coefficient (Ki), and the stress as a function of strain and densification were obtained and analyzed. Furthermore, a relation was obtained from a semi-log plot of stress against relative density and analyzed to study the hardening behaviour owing to densification as stress was a function of induced strain as well as densification in the P/M materials.展开更多

Preforms of Fe-0.8 %C, Fe-0.8% C-1% Mo and Fe-0.8 % C 2 % Mo were prepared to the relative den-sity of 0.86 with two different geometries through primary operations of P/M processes. Each sintered preform was cold upset forged with incremental compressive loading of 0.04 MN under three different lubricant conditions till a visible crack appeared at the free surface. Oyane's fracture criterion was used to develop a theory to study P/M prod-ucts. The least square method was used to determine the constants in fracture criteria and these equations were even- tually used to construct workability diagram. It is found that the proposed method was well in agreement with the experimental results.展开更多
